Grand Entrance

The announced entrance of the couple (and party) into the reception.
The grand entrance is the moment the newlyweds, and often the wedding party, are announced into the reception, usually to music and applause. It kicks off the party and often leads into the first dance.
It lives on your run of show and depends on tight coordination between your emcee and your DJ, who cues the music and reads the names as everyone enters.
